Full of marrow, rich and succulent; describes luxurious feast foods in Isaiah's eschatological vision
This descriptive term appears in Isaiah 25:6, where God prepares a feast on Mount Zion: 'fatty pieces full of marrow, aged wines well refined.' The phrase describes the richest, most luxurious meat—not just fat, but marrow-filled, indicating prime cuts from well-fed animals. Ancient feasting culture recognized marrow as the choicest delicacy, concentrated richness. Isaiah uses this culinary imagery to describe eschatological blessing—when God hosts the nations, the food will be the absolute finest available. Divine hospitality exceeds human imagination.
